That’s it! People who believe there’s an objective standard of morality are America’s problem. Nice!

You're attacking a position he may not even take.

I can only speak for myself here but the problem isn't that Christians believe in an objective morality, it's that they insist objective morality can ONLY come from their particular god and that everyone who doesn't believe as they do either has a warped moral compass or a compass guided by their god whether they believe in it or not.

Tennis without the net. I can't prove that any sense of objective morality we think we have doesn't somehow come from a Creator, but what I can say is that the Christian version of this Creator did a shite job of communicating this morality to his creation, and that our species would never have gotten as far as we did if all of our ancestors operated under the assumption that murdering everyone around them was a fantastic way to survive and propagate.
